Nice work, all.
Lotta great insights on this thread.
Staying power: A woman at the office who is the furthest person from political junkie-dom had this to say — I didn’t hear her speech, but when I saw her picture in the paper I smiled. She makes me smile.
Sarah Palin connects on a personal level. She is genuine. Not often do you see a truly beautiful woman who does not intimidate with her aura. It’s the charisma that’s often attributed to celebs but, unlike celebrity of Paris H., comes from a well of substance. It’s Reaganesque. Thus answering the question about wearing off. It can’t wear off — it’s 24K. Beneath the surface beauty is more of the same.
Sarah Palin is no one-day wonder. The more they whale (and wail) on her, the more decent people will come to her defense. As long as she maintains her grace, humility and dignity, the American people will reject attacks and continue to worship her both as a person and a principled politician.
Sarah Palin is truly the answer to that question every thoughtful American has been asking for decades: Are there no good men and women willing to stand up to the vicious onslaught to run for President?
There is that one comment, though, from THEBADDOG. He speaks of my unspeakable nightmare, one I’ve been having with increasing frequency, one that imagines a cynical, worst-case-possible scenario: O bumps Biden . . . BUT invites Hillary onto the ticket at the top spot so he can assume the second spot, where he feels comfortable. The question is: Is his ego too huge? And Question 2: Is the will to win at any cynical cost too unbearably irresistible?
In this campaign of surprises, is this the worst surprise of all?
Many scoff at the thought of Ms. Rodham joining the party at this late date, but IMO we underestimate the possiblity to our own peril. The libs have been out for blood since 2000. There's absolutely nothing they won't do win this election.
